By: Carmen Corcoran

Ingredients

Mix together:

• ¾ cup cornstarch

• ½ cup water

• 2 eggs

Cut 1 lb steak into thin strips dip into mixture above and either deep fry or fry pieces of steak.

Mix together:

• ½ cup sugar

• ¼ cup minced fresh ginger root

• 5 garlic cloves minced

• ¼ cup vinegar (rice vinegar)

• 3 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp red Chili pepper flakes

To thicken add 3 Tsp’s. of cornstarch mixed with 3 Tsps. of Sugar, pour into mixture.

Option: can add ½ cup teriyaki sauce, honey garlic or sweet chili sauce.

Cut veggies the size of match sticks:

• 2 large carrots

• 1 green bell pepper

• 1 red bell pepper

• 3 green onions chopped

• 4 sticks celery

Instructions

Cook slowly in a large fry pan for about 10 min. with 3 Tbsp’s. canola oil (or as needed) Pour sauce over steak strips, mix well then pour steak strips & sauce over the cooked vegetables.

Note: The vegetables don’t take very long to cook & they get soggy quick.  I double this recipe but be careful of adding too much fresh ginger and red chili peppers, only add enough to taste as it can get strong.
